Chapter 1547 "Come and chase me"

There is a kind of fog, it is not because the weather is too cold to condense the moisture in the atmosphere into fog, but because the water is heated and turned into steam.

Steam has been viewed as a potential energy source since the first century. On Christmas Day 1801, Richard Trevithick built the first high-pressure steam locomotive "Jet Devil", the first run it successfully pulled a full-size steam road car, the second three days later Run it and it dies because the engine overheats.

High pressure will increase the temperature at which water evaporates, from 100 degrees Celsius to 110 degrees Celsius or even higher. Food at high altitudes is always undercooked, because the low pressure makes water boil at a temperature less than 100 degrees Celsius. At this time, a pressure cooker is needed to aid in cooking, or grill directly over the fire.

The temperature of the steam boiler must be 100 degrees Celsius higher than that of water boiling under normal pressure to generate power. After the steam pushes the piston to move, the exhaust gas that loses pressure will be discharged, and at the same time, fresh high-pressure steam will enter to start the next working cycle.

The factor restricting the replacement of horses by steam locomotives is the cooling problem, and Britain is the undisputed authority of the railway industry.The track width of the horse-drawn railway is not the same as that of the steam train. The latter is much wider and requires sleepers and roadbeds. This makes French bureaucrats cautious about laying a large-scale railway network.

In contrast, the Austrians have become a lot more open. Budweiser in Bohemia is a world-famous beer town. They plan to build a horse-drawn railway to connect Linz and Budweiser, and extend it to convalescent Salt factory near the resort of Gmunden.

The devil knows when the British developed the steam locomotive. While the French were waiting, the Germans had already begun to enjoy the convenience brought by the railway.

Railways are nothing new in the Holy Roman Empire, there were wooden tracks during the Thirty Years War, Saxony was the main tin and silver mining area of ​​the Holy Roman Empire, there was a protruding steel cable under the mining trucks, It can pull minecarts forward.

At first this primitive transportation system relied on human power, and later horses were introduced to replace human power to transport heavier cargo.

In the late 18th century, mining engineers near Hannover, Germany began to try to use rails, and later spread to the central mining area of ​​England. The volume and load of trucks continued to increase, with a maximum carrying capacity of 2.5 tons, and the spacing of most tracks was unified at 5 feet. , this width is just suitable for a loaded four-wheeled carriage.

Railroads are no longer just about transporting supplies, they are also a symbol of alliances. Horse-drawn carriages that are suitable for running on a gauge of 4.8 feet are not suitable for running on railroads with a gauge of 5 feet. This invisible barrier can be built for the border Effective barriers and tariffs.

After Louis XIV built Versailles, he built a detached palace in the more hidden Mali Lehua. In the garden of the detached palace, designers built many gorgeous fountains, pools and sculptures.

In addition, there is a toy called "big roulette" in the garden.Its principle is derived from the gravity railway. Three servants wearing wigs push the carriage up to the top of a slope. The gold-plated and carved carriage rumbles down the 820-foot wooden track under the action of gravity, attracting the screams of the princes and nobles. It's called Lianlian.

There are many Z-shaped roads on Seni Mountain Road. The engineers came up with a way to use the weight of the descending carriage to pull the ascending carriage, and at the same time, the horse pulls the chain to prevent the descending vehicle from being underweight and unable to generate enough power. The mountain road is steep and rugged, and the terrain is difficult.

There are also gears and iron bars at the bottom of the carriage. Although the climb is difficult, it is very dangerous if there is no brake.The French are not the only ones who want to conquer the Alps. The Austrians are also designing a railway that will reach the free port of Trieste from the Semmering Pass, along the only way people have climbed the mountains on foot and on horseback since the Middle Ages. , where the East India Company headquarters in Austria is located.

After the failure of the trial production of "Jet Devil", Richard Trevithick made a small steam train in London. The track is circular, which is both an amusement facility and an experiment. He named this game "Who will chase me".

Napoleon's attempt to poach a British steam-fitting engineer for street lamps through an industrial exhibition failed and was replaced by a German inventor named Frederick Albert Windsor, who presented to the Lyceum on the Strand, London. Spectators perform gaslighting.

He didn't lose his temper, but sent Dusan Luverture to Mali Lehua to be imprisoned.Grand Duke Ferdinand of the Principality of Parma died, suspected of being poisoned, and Georgiana was almost assassinated in St. Luke's Palace. To be on the safe side, Dusan Louverture had better change to another place.

Generally speaking, men would strangle with swords and ropes, while women would use poison, but now no one dared to talk about how Duke Ferdinand died.Since the Principality was occupied by the French army led by Napoleon in 1796, the Grand Duke has been under surveillance in Parma. Now that he is dead, many people are guessing who the murderer is?

Napoleon wanted all the Bourbon monarchs to pledge to be his allies in future wars against the nations of Europe.But the royalist newspaper called him a "usurper" from a "king killer". After Piedmont, the Principality of Parma may become the next target of French annexation. Georgiana is waiting for the clever Napoleon this time What excuse to use again.

There are no gold or silver mines on that barren mountain, and it doesn't hinder anyone's interests, but a new anti-French alliance has faintly been conceived.

As the Earl of Mullsbury said, the baby named Peace may die at any time, and a dead body named War is about to be resurrected.

Honor, victory, obviously for men these are more worth fighting for.

Sometimes mothers don't just give birth, they bury babies, but no one really listens to their opinions and ideas.

She supports fighting unavoidable wars, but some wars are obviously avoidable, so why fight them?
Her departure was regarded by Napoleon as a kind of protest, although she did not intend to do so.

He didn't force her to put on the bracelet with his hair on it, but he didn't take off the bracelet with her hair on it.

That's what a certain member of parliament said, that all Europe could be put on the alert by propping up Napoleon's gray coat and three-cornered hat on branches.

It is said that the horse-drawn railway from Antwerp in northern Belgium to Brussels is already under construction. If it were not for the fact that there are many swamps on the road, this road may continue to extend in the direction of France.

How to lay railway tracks on the swamp is a difficult problem that the British have not yet overcome, and the place where the railway will pass is very close to Waterloo.

When Napoleon was in Mantua, he was very close to death. Not only did he fall into the swamp, but he was alone, and there were Austrian troops nearby.

Putting aside his hatred and marrying Austria for the sake of a pure princess, there is no "impossible" in his dictionary. The premise of a centralized monarchy is that the monarch must be a wise monarch. If it falls into the hands of a foolish monarch, it will cause irreparable consequences. In order to leave a little spark of hope for France, Georgiana was so desperate to protect the Republicans.

He lost his most attractive charm for a little girl, and it was worse than his body becoming fat.

She wants to leave him, as long as she arranges for those who choose to follow her, and when she leaves, she will leave him enough to not be embarrassed.

Although this incident happened in the "future", it also happened in the "past". It may be one of the many things she cannot change.

She suddenly understood how Voldemort felt, though Napoleon might have felt innocent enough to take responsibility for something he hadn't done.

He had been a fair and restrained man, at least he seemed to be in Egypt, and now he wasn't.

If he is to sit on the throne on top of the world, he must learn to be fair and honest.

She thought of the dying lion sculpture in Switzerland, commemorating the Swiss mercenaries who guarded the Tuileries Palace in 1792, and Napoleon was there to witness the scene that day.

The little man at that time probably never dreamed that he would live in the Tuiler Palace, nor would he have imagined that he would be dying like a dying lion in that shallow hole with a spear in his waist.

Mark Twain said that that statue is the saddest and most moving statue in the world.

After their death, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were not sent to the Saint-Denis Cathedral, where the kings were buried, but were thrown into the mass grave of the Rue Anjou.

And those kings who were originally buried in the basement of Saint-Denis Church were dug out by picks and thrown into mass graves.

It is said that when Louis XIV was dug up, his face was surprisingly black, just like Georgiana's new pet Valais sheep "Sean".

That was probably why she was afraid of it, even though it looked very naive and endearing.

"Ma'am." Belle pushed her.

Georgiana came back to herself.

"It's time for us to go," said Belle. "Today is the day of St. Geneviève's burial."

"It's the day when her coffin was buried." Georgiana said blankly, "Her body has been burned long ago."

"Are you still angry?" Belle asked.

"I'm not angry!" she said angrily.

Belle fell silent.

"Let's go." Georgiana said coldly, dressed in a fine attire, and left the vineyard grower's villa where she was currently living.
